Yikes! I like that setup! I'm sure I'll blow my 355 when I start juicing it, so if you have that engine for sale by the time that happens, you may see a check in the mail for $5500.

:shock: That's gonna be sick -- and I thought I was the only v8 Z in Austin. Where are you located at?

Agreed - I had the same problem you were having until I figured out the right way to do it (jakeshoe's method). It's been almost a year now and they're still holding...

Man, you guys are lucky. In stop & go I can see up to 225-235* . That's with a griffin radiator, electric waterpump, and electric fans. However, the large i/c and water-cooled turbo probably don't help that much... And sir, please, add some coolant to that thing.

wtf..? Please add some coherence to your sentence(s).

I wonder if this is the same assclown: http://videos.streetfire.net/search/mustang+crash/0/b1ea70c2-4515-4e9c-8900-f666828189e0.htm

Great idea, I didn't even think about that. That would probably be the best option I have at this point. Thanks!

I currently have the dash out in the v8 project, and am in the process of installing all of the gauges. My tachometer has some damage on the face, so I'm on the hunt for another one. I called Autometer, and they couldn't help me out with it, so I'm hoping one of you has a broken one laying around that you could sell. I thought about printing out an overlay, but it would look different from the rest of the gauges. I don't want to buy a brand new one, because this one works fine -- it just looks like butt. I don't think there are any other websites / forums that would be able to help me out (other than different car forums), so it seems my resources are limited. Unless any of you have any ideas on how to create my own tach face, this seems to be my best option, so let me know if you have one laying around. Thanks

It says the cd is .357 -- isn't that around the same as the 280zx?? That seems a bit too high for a car like that. The FD rx-7 is .29, from what I remember, I would think this one wouldn't be too far away from that.

The vent came off an '81 Z28. I believe it was offered from '79-'81, but I could be wrong. I found a closer pic of the vent, but you can't judge depth too well from it, so it's kind of hard to make out the contours of the vent.

Well, I was able to make a little more progress this last weekend. I removed the window frames, windows, door handles, did some more prep work, and started a couple of the modifications on the list. All that's left is to sand over with 400 grit, finish the modifications on the list, and paint it...should be about another 8-12 hours of work ahead. Fender look any different to you?

Man, I'm kicking myself in the nads for not catching that auction -- I have a friend that's going to the U.K. next week...THEY COULD'VE BROUGHT IT BACK FOR ME!!! :-(

2nd that I really like the way the one sold in the UK looks like, but I've heard the quality is poor (Frank?). Plus, price with shipping was gonna be like $1600-$1700 for just that piece. It's been a while since I talked to the guy, but I'm pretty sure that's the right price. Really a bummer, because I love how it takes the "boxyness" out of the front of the s130. Oh well, I'll just have to make my own in a few years.

Oh, they're not that bad...

I've read a few flow tests on the best muffler, and flowmaster is almost always at the bottom of the list. Magnaflow is usually lingering around the top. The Dynomax Ultra Flo is supposed to be one of the best flowing which also utilizes a straight-through design. I ended up buying a flowmaster super 40 series, but I plan on running electric cutouts. Even though I don't like the design of the electric cutouts, I still think the exhaust would flow better versus having to go through the flowmaster. I would like manual cutouts better, but they would be such a PITA since I have to jack up the car every time I want to access them.

The steering wheel and seat does it for me!

Actually, after further review, it sounds like he has cutouts.

Yup, I was with my g/f in San Antonio last month when she saw it parked off the side of the road. She told me to, "Check out that Z up ahead," but when we came closer, I saw it wasn't one. I'd never seen a car like it before, so she swung back around for a double-take. Then I saw the Saab emblem on it -- looked like a pretty cool little car. I would've never guessed it was a Saab, though.

A sound clip would be great. As far as internals, my cam is a .555"/.578", 236/242 roller. I'm also using a victor jr. (also have performer rpm) and holley systemax heads, so she should be able to breath decently well. I would like to use 1 3/4" primaries, but 1 5/8" will have to work. I currently have flows on it right now, but I love the way the camaro sounds in that video. If I can't find anything close, I'll probably end up with a single chamber flowmaster.

http://videos.streetfire.net/category/Chevrolet/0/E308BFBA-C29B-4A6B-AD74-45394A32662B.htm I know it's an LS1, but I'm trying to get my '82 sbc to sound like this one. I'm changing my exhaust setup, so now would be a great time to do it. The only difference is most likely the camaro in the video is running duals, and mine will be a single 3" setup. However, with the same muffler, I'm assuming it should sound similar. Thanks

Correct you are, I, along with others, pointed that out to them, but like you said, it wasn't to their advantage so they didn't care.

Yeah, pretty much the only thing keeping me interested was the possibility of it being local. If I saw this on eBay, I wouldn't think twice, but since it was on craigslist, I figured that they wouldn't try to scam a more local buyer. Oh well, live and learn. You just have a checklist for everything, don't you?

Wow, that didn't take long. I guess it was that obvious
